I decided to use time instead of string date in MySQL, but I want to know whether it is a good idea. For example I use:
1268557200
instead of:

Thanks.
Of course is it better a special type. The database is optimized for such types. E.g. your string there has very much chars the date types are internally ints or longs which just take 4 or 8 bytes.
